batchelor Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Has anyone had any experience with an auto fish feeder? I'm going on vacation in June and need to make my tank "self sufficient". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePremiumAquarium Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 I like the Eheim and Hydor models. Have the Hydor in stock as well. They do real well with pellet though I like to feed flake so I have used a small acrylic ring that the flake drops in to allowing it time to settle before being skimmed off by the overflow boxes. The wafers I sell do super well with the feeders too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markvo Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Would you please give the details of the refrigerated dosing setup above or include a link. Thanks Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
batchelor Posted November 8, 2011 Author Share Posted November 8, 2011 Thanks guys for the input. Hey Miles , if I could borrow it for a week or so to see how I like it , that would be great, and don't worry about last weekend, no big deal. Hey Garrett, if I like Miles' feeder, I'll call you and have you pick one up for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very good idea. If your return pump can get all of it into the display then that would work great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
